"With the Samsung Galaxy S4 presumably coming soon, many are excited about the possibility of running a more stock Android-based experience, like CyanogenMod, on the hardware. It looks like that's going to be a slower transition than many were hoping, as the current Samsung CM maintainers have said that they have no plans to support the device." If you like custom ROMs, don't buy Samsung. As simple as that.

Funny , since i own a samsung i9000 ( galaxy S ) and a nexus 7 tablet.

And i have better and more cyanogenmod based roms for the samsung i9000 than for the nexus 7 tablet.

Samsung Galaxy S is one of the best devices to flash. And it runs great, even for its age.

Its kinda stupid to not recommend Samsung when Htc / Sony / etc are far worse. Only recent ( 1 year i think ) Htc started to open its bootloaders. Sony ... well , i had a sony arc s ... gave it away ... stupid locked bootloaders.
